Hey there how dose the multiplayer work, is there away to make a dedicated server that can control the game to host the game pay? I don't mean FPSC IP sorry but I paid for a game maker that says it make muliplayer games I like he made it but from what I read its Microsft server not php, and other from what I see in the prices after you by the app for hosting nar sorry.

I Like to know how the game works as I will build my own dedicated server for the games but I want to know how we can manage the games, are the games controlled by a FPSC build game and rely on that to be the host, What I was thinking is my program takes to the server then server will download the setup.ini so the users can't cheat and then the server also runs the game, is this possible, also can someone update the wiki still says FPSC does not support windows vista/7 and it seems to be now.

So, my question is I not made it clear knowing me its not, is it possible to host a dedicated lobby/host that would let people join and play the game, without me leaving the game playing on a pc, this would not really work as this would only let one game play out I wont to be able to play more then one game at once, or is this muliplayer P2P play if so then its going to be limited I guess.


P.S Mod can you list this silly posting now please I am a paying member and shown very clearly I am not here to spam, would be nice cos its also confusing some members on my replies

Hello Rexzooly

You can check out Project Apex, Project Apex contains a Plethora of features that will help you create a working Multi-player game. As you can see, MP does not really work. It has no option for a dedicated server either.

Project Apex allows you to create a dedicated server by simply putting a small command in the setup.ini. When you host a game, the server will load and pop up a small console application which will eventually allow users to type in commands. It is specifically created to reduce the load on your GPU and CPU.

Additionally, Project Apex fixes the "Waiting to join" bug and many others. As well as contains a option for Team Death Match and the ability to turn off Friendly fire. HockeyKid, the developer of Apex has Completely re-written Multi-player with his own code, so you know your getting quality.

HockeyKid has also stated that since it is his own code, you can look forward to many new Multi-player features.

You can view Project Apex's thread here http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=181943&b=21

I also share your reasoning with FPSC IP, Apex will not charge you to make each game.

Project Apex will also optimize your game by lessening the memory used by building a level, or map. So you can add even more to your multi-player games!

Hope this helped.

Anything helps in this world thanks I will give that a good read over, thanks for the heads up and I have read a few posts about HockeyKid the user seems to be a really good programer/modder on here.


Sadly I read the hole post and still no release date or even price range so it was helpful but still in the same place.
